We'll I finally did it. Had a gym membership but that really didn't work for me. Trying to get there after working all day was hard. Once I get home especially in cold snowy winter is the last thing I want to do. I like staying home when I g... Read more

I think this winter instead of the "Long Winter's Nap" I am going to make it a exercise journey. For the months of Dec/Jan/Feb I am going to challenge myself to exercise more. Not that I did much before. No fooling myself. Time to do it. I... Read more

I got my Spark Activity Tracker about 2 weeks ago. It came in a nice package similar to my IPod and also has an extra battery. From the first time I plugged it in - I can wait to see how many steps I am doing. My first goal was to get 6000 st... Read more

Just starting to plan a few trips for the year:
1) DC we will be heading down to DC in a few weeks, can't wait. Always wanted to see the Cherry Blossom and we will drive right down the streets on our motorcycles. Will be my longest trip a... Read more

1) I chew gum whenever possible. I must go through a half pack of gum a day. This really helps me trick my mind because I am chewing.
